‘L 97-128’ (Reg. No. CV-129, PI 650858) sugarcane (a complex hybrid of Saccharum offi cinarum L., S. barberi Jeswiet, S. spontaneum L., and S. sinense Roxb. amend. Jeswiet) was released on 5 May 2004 by the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center in cooperation with the USDA-ARS and the American Sugarcane League, Inc. L 97-128 has early high sucrose content, high cane yield potential, and resistance to common brown rust disease (Puccinia melanocephala H. and P. Syd.). Both the cross and the early stage clonal selection were made at Louisiana State University Agricultural Center’s Sugar Research Station, St. Gabriel; permanent cultivar assignment was done in 1997. The cross was made on 25 Sept. 1992. Early stage clonal selection was done as single stools in 1994 followed by fi rst clonal line trial selection in 1995 and second clonal line trial stage selection in 1996. Testing in replicated yield trials was conducted through the sugarcane growing area in south Louisiana from 1998 through 2003. Plant patent 17,636 was issued on 24 Apr. 2007.
